I posted this on my new blog last night but for those of you who havent jumped ship to the tumblr side I thought I'd post this for you all:

Letters to Haiti

In our years as friends Behati and I have been on many trips and adventures together all around the world. This January we will be traveling together for a very special reason. You've probably heard me talk often about Lakay Pam and the great work they do aiding orphans in Haiti. Together over this last year we've hosted events here in New York city which have raised a lot of money to benefit the children of that devastated country.

Now Behati and I are again teaming up with Lakay Pam to travel to Haiti with a few other friends with the idea of seeing what more we all can do. We're going to spend a few days with the orphans and experience their everyday life. While there we'll film a little documentary of what we encounter so you can see it first hand, where the aid is going and where we still need to help.

I have a big favor to ask of you all though, allow me to explain:

When we visit the orphanages we want to take with us letters from people around the world to show the children of Haiti that they have global friends, real people who care about them. In return we will be bringing back with us their letters to you all.

Please get out your pen and paper today and write a letter for them. If you could, include your name, age and address and send it to us here:
